The golden age of illustration (1880s-1930s) should make a comeback. There's no reason at all books should just be uninterrupted blocks of prose. There's room for art there. And I'm not talking about children's books or fantasy. Everything should have illustrations.

Having cool pictures is for babies. In fact all visual art is for babies

Illustrations in books are cool as fuck.

No. It kills the immersion of anyone with actual imagination. Illustrations are a tool to connect with retards with no inner world.

Anyone else realize redditors throw in the f-word as much as they can, sometimes in the middle of a sentence?

Being smart doesn’t mean you have good taste or judgement. Being smart likewise doesn’t mean you have an ounce of imagination. Go back to ‘reading’ VN’s or whatever it is you do, silly.
